Garmin Forerunner 265 Black Bezel and Case with Black/Powder Gray Silicone Band

Light, Bright, and Made for Any Distance.

Forerunner 265 is a running smartwatch with a touchscreen AMOLED display, training metrics, phone-free music, and up to 13 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. Featuring an optional always-on, full-colour display that's easy to read no matter the weather conditions, a responsive touchscreen complements Garmin's traditional 5-button design for fast access to everyday health features and smart notifications.

Vibrant Always On AMOLED Display

Changed to a fully always on AMOLED display with far more vibrant colours and brightness, the Forerunner 265 features a 1.3 inch display at 416 x 416px resolution, protected by Gorilla Glass 3 lens for everyday durability.

Advanced Training Tools for Every Athlete

Start the day off right with a morning report that provides an overview of last night's sleep and the day's training outlook, alongside HRV status and weather when paired with a smartphone. Use the race widget to get training tips, personalised daily suggested workouts and completion time predictions for an upcoming race based on course details, weather and performance.

Built-In Running Dynamics, No Extra Sensor Needed

Comes with built-in Running Dynamics including Vertical Ratio and Ground Contact Time without requiring any additional sensor, plus a new Training Readiness feature that helps you figure out whether and how intensely to train on any given day.

24/7 Health Tracking, Not Just During Workouts

Designed to track overall well-being around the clock, the Forerunner 265 includes a wrist-based Pulse Ox sensor, Body Battery energy monitoring, advanced sleep monitoring and sleep score, stress tracking, and menstrual cycle and pregnancy tracking.

Phone-Free Music Streaming

Download songs from Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music with a premium subscription for phone-free listening, syncing playlists over Wi-Fi and listening directly through Bluetooth headphones during your run.

Run with Greater Peace of Mind

Run with added confidence thanks to incident detection, assistance, and LiveTrack, letting loved ones follow your activity in real time, along with Garmin Pay contactless payments for quick checkout lines.

Multisport Versatility Beyond Running

Supports cycling, both indoor and outdoor, pool swimming, and open-water swimming in addition to running, making it a genuinely versatile training companion rather than a single-sport device.
